Podcasts about William Faulkner

How do you identify your writing weaknesses? And, even more importantly, how can you tell if something really is a weakness? In this episode, I share five ways writers can recognize recurring craft problems, strengthen weak areas, and distinguish poor execution from intentional writing style. Every story presents its own challenges. Struggling with one beginning doesn't necessarily mean you're bad at beginnings. But when the same problem keeps cropping up across multiple stories, that's information worth paying attention to. We'll look at how to identify writing weaknesses by listening to your story sense, noticing what you consistently avoid, comparing patterns across multiple stories, and learning from beta readers, critique partners, editors, and reader reviews. We'll also talk about the important difference between the inner critic's generalized judgments and the specific diagnostic nudges that can actually help you improve your writing. But identifying a recurring pattern raises another question: Is it actually a weakness? Writing craft is largely the study of patterns that work. But not every departure from those patterns is a mistake. Writers such as Kurt Vonnegut, William Faulkner, and Cormac McCarthy made unconventional choices that became part of their distinctive styles. The real question is whether your choices effectively communicate what you intend. In this episode, we'll talk about: • What writing weaknesses actually are • 5 ways to identify recurring weaknesses in your writing • How to distinguish your inner critic from your story sense • Why patterns across multiple stories matter • How to use feedback without surrendering your own judgment • When breaking writing "rules" becomes a stylistic strength • How to turn weak areas into stronger writing skills Read the transcript: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/identify-writing-weaknesses/ LINKS & RESOURCES Want More? WRITING MASTERCLASS: Flat Character Arcs: From Transformation to Integration https://kmweilandstore.com/b/flat-character-arc-class  If character arcs are one of the areas you'd like to understand more deeply, my new masterclass Flat Character Arcs: From Transformation to Integration explores not just how Flat Character Arcs work, but why. The more deeply we understand the patterns underneath story (i.e., the reasons certain choices create meaning and resonance), the less we have to rely on memorized "rules." Instead, we can begin internalizing the principles themselves and using them instinctively in our own stories.

El Mundial sigue entregando duelos memorables y estemiércoles tenemos un partido de eliminatorias cargado de historia: Estados Unidos contra Bosnia-Herzegovina. Y en nuestro campo literario, armamos un enfrentamiento detitanes absolutos. Por el lado estadounidense, uno de los gigantes de laliteratura del siglo XX: William Faulkner, con su monumental novela “¡Absalón, Absalón!”. Por el lado bosnio, el Premio Nobel de Literatura IvoAndrić, con su obra maestra “Un puente sobre el Drina”. Dos libros que son mucho más que historias: son monumentosal peso del pasado, a la memoria colectiva y a las heridas que no cierran. Faulkner nos arrastra al sur profundo de Estados Unidos conuna prosa densa, laberíntica y obsesiva. Historias de familias malditas, ambición desmedida, raza, culpa e incesto narradas en capas de tiempo que se superponen como ruinas. Es un torrente verbal, casi violento, que exige todo de quien lo lee. Andrić, en cambio, levanta un puente de palabras sobre elrío Drina y, a lo largo de siglos, nos muestra cómo conviven (y chocan) imperios, religiones y pueblos en los Balcanes. Su estilo es más sereno, cristalino y épico, pero igual de profundo. Un puente que une y separa al mismo tiempo. Uno grita con la furia del sur americano. El otro susurracon la sabiduría dolorosa de los Balcanes. ¿Quién se lleva la victoria en este choque de titanesliterarios? ¿La intensidad caótica de Faulkner o la mirada histórica y serena de Andrić? Eso lo decidiremos juntos en este episodio. Así que preparatu café (o tu rakia si te sientes balcánico), acomódate y acompáñanos en este partido que trasciende los noventa minutos.

Francesco Baucia"William Faulkner. Il vortice dell'origine"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.it“Ascoltare, sentire, vedere. Questa la triade che si rinnova nella voce di Faulkner, nella sua capacità di generare voci… Non c'è sguardo che non sia anche un urlo.”Inarrestabile nella foga creativa così come nelle passioni autodistruttive, il premio Nobel William Faulkner (Mississippi, 1897-1962) raccoglie il soffio della storia della sua terra, un Sud orgoglioso e violento, e lo trasforma, attraverso la lezione del romanzo modernista, in un grande universo letterario. Cronista e visionario, Faulkner inquieta e commuove; in lui convivono nostalgia e gusto di vivere, disperazione e speranza. Lo spiega in questo vivacissimo profilo Francesco Baucia, che sonda anche il Faulkner sceneggiatore, “spalla” di Howard Hawks, uno dei grandi registi del suo tempo: la scrittura del romanziere statunitense è infatti eminentemente cinematografica, sempre magnetica, e percorsa da una tensione polarizzante che costringe il lettore a confrontarsi incessantemente con il segreto delle sue parole, le contraddizioni dell'America e del «teatro del Sud».William Faulkner nacque a New Albany, nel Mississippi, nel 1897, e crebbe a Oxford, la cittadina che sarebbe diventata il modello della sua immaginaria contea di Yoknapatawpha, ambientazione di gran parte della sua narrativa.Considerato uno dei massimi scrittori americani del Novecento, Faulkner rivoluzionò la tecnica narrativa attraverso l'uso del flusso di coscienza, la frammentazione temporale e la molteplicità dei punti di vista, elementi che caratterizzano capolavori come L'urlo e il furore (1929), Mentre morivo (1930), Luce d'agosto (1932) e Assalonne, Assalonne! (1936). La sua opera scava nella storia e nelle contraddizioni del Sud degli Stati Uniti, tra eredità della schiavitù, decadenza aristocratica e trasformazioni sociali.Nel 1949 gli fu conferito il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, e nel corso della carriera vinse anche due Premi Pulitzer, per La città (1957) e I gonfaloni (1962). Lavorò inoltre come sceneggiatore a Hollywood, collaborando tra gli altri con Howard Hawks.Morì nel 1962 a Byhalia, nel Mississippi, lasciando un'eredità letteraria che ha profondamente influenzato la narrativa mondiale successiva, da Gabriel García Márquez a Toni Morrison.Francesco Baucia (Asti, 1984) è dottore di ricerca in Scienze linguistiche e letterarie all'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano. Ha pubblicato i romanzi L'ultima analisi (Sedizioni, 2013) e La notte negli occhi (Lindau, 2020), la raccolta di studi su Cormac McCarthy Luci dall'abisso (Vita e Pensiero, 2024, con F.

A recording of the book-release for a new illustrated version of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury at Tangible Books on Saturday, July 18th, with publisher Mallory Smart and designer Dmitry Samarov.

Send us Fan MailWith this episode, READING MCCARTHY has discussed every novel published by Cormac McCarthy.  Published in early December of 2022, STELLA MARIS was the last novel published by McCarthy in his lifetime.  The second book in a pair of sibling novels about the Westerns, STELLA MARIS consists of a series of interviews between the troubled genius Alicia Western and a research psychiatrist. Alicia first appears in THE PASSENGER, but it is in this novel that the spotlight is firmly upon her.  My guests for this episode are Nell Sullivan, who joined us previously for episodes on McCarthy and Women Characters, on Outer Dark, on a consideration of The Border Trilogy, and the tribute episode to McCarthy.  She is Professor of English at the University of Houston-Downtown, where she teaches courses in American literature, the literature of the American South, and zombies.  She has published essays on William Faulkner, Nella Larsen, Katherine Dunn, and, of course, Cormac McCarthy. She is currently working on a book on McCarthy's representation of women.  Like myself and Vern Cisney, her most recent chapter on McCarthy has recently been published in the collection, New Perspectives on Cormac McCarthy, Encountering The Passenger and Stellar Maris, edited by the Brothers Elmore.  Joining Dr. Sullivan is Dr. Vernon W. Cisney, who is Chair and Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. He teaches at the intersections of philosophy, religion, film, literature, and politics. He is the author of Deleuze and Derrida: Difference and the Power of the Negative (2018), as well as Derrida's Voice and Phenomenon: An Edinburgh Philosophical Guide (2014). In addition, he is the co-editor of Between Foucault and Derrida (2016); Biopower: Foucault and Beyond (2015); and The Way of Nature and the Way of Grace: Philosophical Footholds on Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2016). Most recently, he has written articles and chapters included in Deleuze and Guattari Studies and New Perspectives on Cormac McCarthy: Encountering the Passenger and Stella Maris, and is currently editing with Jonathan and Rick Elmore a volume on McCarthy's Blood Meridian.  All music for READING MCCARTHY is  composed, performed, and produced by Thomas Frye.  Support the showNew! A book adaptation of many of the episodes focusing on McCarthy's Southern novels is forthcoming in December, 2026.  Click the link for details on Reading Cormac McCarthy: Scholars Discuss the Southern Novels.Starting in spring of 2023, the podcast began accepting minor sponsorship offers to offset the costs of the podcast.  This may cause a mild disconnect in earlier podcasts where the host asks for patrons in lieu of sponsorships.   But if we compare it to a very large and naked bald man in the middle of the desert who leads you to an extinct volcano to create gunpowder, it seems pretty minor...As always, the views of the host and his guests do not constitute the views of the Cormac McCarthy society, or their employers or institutions, or their pets or favorite sporting teams.  

Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez Nació el 6 de marzo de 1927 en Aracataca, Magdalena, Colombia. Su nombre refleja una tradición común en muchas familias latinoamericanas católicas, donde se incluyen nombres religiosos como “de la Concordia”. murió el 17 de abril de 2014 en Ciudad de México. fue un escritor, periodista y guionista colombiano, considerado uno de los más grandes autores en lengua española del siglo XX. Es especialmente conocido por ser uno de los principales exponentes del realismo mágico, un estilo literario que mezcla elementos fantásticos con la realidad cotidiana de América Latina. Cien años de soledad (1967), una novela que narra la historia de la familia Buendía en el mítico pueblo de Macondo. Esta obra es considerada una de las más importantes de la literatura universal. Premio Nobel de Literatura: Lo recibió en 1982, “por sus novelas e historias cortas, en las que lo fantástico y lo real se combinan en un mundo ricamente compuesto de imaginación”. Otras obras destacadas: El otoño del patriarca (1975), Crónica de una muerte anunciada (1981), El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), Del amor y otros demonios (1994), Memoria de mis putas tristes (2004), etc, Estilo: García Márquez fusiona la realidad social y política de América Latina con elementos mágicos, míticos o sobrenaturales, sin romper la lógica narrativa. Su estilo está profundamente influido por la tradición oral caribeña, el periodismo, y autores como William Faulkner y Franz Kafka. Periodismo: Antes y durante su carrera literaria fue un periodista muy activo. De hecho, consideraba el periodismo como “el mejor oficio del mundo”.

Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan en esRadio sobre la relación de Howard Hawks con Faulkner y la influencia del filme 'El Crack'. En esta nueva entrega de Par Impar, el programa de cine de esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan con Martín Torres, médico de urgencias y escritor que presenta la segunda edición de su aclamada novela negra, La Enfermera. Durante la charla sobre la mítica película de cine negro El Sueño Eterno, de Howard Hawks, se analiza cómo el autor ha logrado plasmar su experiencia profesional en un relato trepidante, ambientado en una ciudad que evoca la atmósfera del cine negro clásico: San Sebastián. Los tertulianos comparan la capital guipuzcoana con Los Ángeles por su capacidad para acoger intrigas oscuras bajo una fachada de sofisticación. Martín Torres explica que San Sebastián posee una dualidad idónea para el suspense, ya que combina el glamour de su festival de cine con el ambiente sombrío de sus días lluviosos, siendo la capital de provincia con más jornadas de precipitaciones al año. Esta atmósfera sirve de telón de fondo para La Enfermera, donde el entorno hospitalario de urgencias se convierte en el epicentro de una compleja trama criminal. El autor destaca que la medicina de urgencias aporta un dinamismo y una constante toma de decisiones extremas que encajan a la perfección con el ritmo que exige el thriller contemporáneo. El debate se traslada rápidamente a los grandes referentes del género, prestando especial atención a El Sueño Eterno, la mítica película dirigida por Howard Hawks y basada en la novela de Raymond Chandler. Martín confiesa su admiración por este clásico y destaca la colaboración del Nobel William Faulkner en el guión junto a Leigh Brackett. Entre las anécdotas del rodaje, recuerdan el famoso telegrama que Hawks envió a Chandler preguntándole quién había matado al chófer de la historia, a lo que el novelista respondió que tampoco lo sabía, un claro ejemplo de cómo la atmósfera y el magnetismo de los personajes superan a la propia coherencia de la trama. Otro aspecto de gran interés que se analiza de El Sueño Eterno es la inigualable química entre Humphrey Bogart y Lauren Bacall, cuya relación traspasó la pantalla y dio origen al famoso término Rat Pack, acuñado por la propia Bacall. Los presentadores de esRadio recuerdan cómo el estudio decidió añadir nuevas escenas para aprovechar el tirón publicitario del romance real, lo que dio pie a secuencias tan recordadas como la de los caballos, cargada de dobles sentidos de carácter sexual que lograron sortear la férrea censura de la época. Centrándose en el proceso de escritura de La Enfermera, Martín Torres revela que su prioridad ha sido construir diálogos ágiles y de gran realismo, inspirándose en el habla de la gente joven con la que trabaja a diario en el hospital. Asimismo, el autor confiesa que evita realizar descripciones físicas minuciosas de los personajes o de las localizaciones para estimular la imaginación del lector. Esta técnica permite que cada persona proyecte su propia imagen de los protagonistas, lo que agiliza notablemente la lectura y sumerge al público directamente en la acción. Por último, el programa de esRadio aborda una de las conexiones más fascinantes del cine español con Hollywood, detallando la supuesta influencia de El Crack, la obra maestra de José Luis Garci protagonizada por Alfredo Landa, en el cine de Quentin Tarantino. Los tertulianos rememoran una anécdota según la cual se le preguntó directamente a Tarantino en un festival si había copiado una escena para Pulp Fiction, a lo que el director estadounidense admitió conocer y admirar el filme de Garci. El broche de oro de la emisión lo pone la música de Fleetwood Mac con clásicos como Lies y Everywhere, que ponen ritmo a esta enriquecedora conversación sobre literatura, medicina y celuloide.

This episode touches on a lot: the founding of America and its separation of powers, whether Isaiah writes like William Faulkner, and how the world will end. Alex, Jim, and Sam discuss Isaiah 33.

On this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools and Mary Tamer of MassPotential speak with Rachel Canter, Director of Education Policy for the Progressive Policy Institute's Reinventing America's Schools project and founder of Mississippi First, about Mississippi's remarkable rise in K–12 student achievement and the policy reforms that helped drive it. Drawing on her experience as a former Teach For America teacher and longtime education advocate, Canter reflects on the leadership, accountability, and strategic reforms that helped Mississippi transform from one of the nation's lowest-performing states to one of its fastest-improving on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. She discusses the science of reading, the debate between phonics and whole language instruction, and what schools must do to rebuild academic rigor in literacy, STEM, and civics. Canter also explores the importance of exposing students to great literature and roots music from William Faulkner and Delta bluesmen like Robert Johnson, drawing on Mississippi's rich cultural legacy, and reflects on how lessons from Civil Rights era figures, including Emmett Till and Fannie Lou Hamer, can strengthen civics education today. She concludes by sharing policy recommendations for governors, legislators, educators, and parents seeking dramatic and lasting improvements in student outcomes nationwide.

In this episode we instead consider a host of short story collections held to be so coherent, so cohesive, and so excellent that they are often considered as novels.  We ponder: are these books novels?  Are they greater than the sum of their parts?  Are they worthy of their places in the canon? Your hosts consider and discuss Wineberg, Ohio, by Sherwood Anderson; In Our Time, by Ernest Hemingway; Cane, by Jean Toomer; Pale Horse, Pale Rider by Catherine Anne Porter; Go Down, Moses by William Faulkner; Love Medicine, by Louise Erdich; and The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien.  All opinions are the hosts' own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Moment,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.

Chicago is the main character, the setting, the obsession, and the historical grist for the mill of Peter Orner's most recent novel, The Gossip Columnist's Daughter (Little Brown and Company, 2025). In conversation about his hometown with Novel Dialogue host Sarah Wasserman, Peter brings us into a lost pocket of time. It is the early 1960s, when Chicagoans partied in a kind of “Midwestern Weimar” and the gossip columnist Irv Kupcinet, holding forth as many as six times a week for 60 years, wrote a garrulous, glamorous story of the city. While the increasingly unhinged narrator of his novel investigates the mysterious death of Kupcinet's daughter in 1963, Peter delves into his own family's history, anxiously asking “we can't hurt our dead, can we?” The novel swerves between fact and fiction, including photographs that are both real artifacts from the historical record and staged photos that participate in the fictional world of the novel. Peter laughs off this contradiction, remarking “the closer I get to real things, the more fictional it becomes.” How to describe such a complicated novel? Sarah offers this gem: “It's as if Philip Roth were less cancellable and wrote a murder mystery,” a line that results in a poignant conversation about what it means to be Jewish and socially striving in Chicago in middle of the 20th century and what it means to be a cultural outsider, “just slightly outside of the circle.” Peter brings the conversation to a close with a memory of going to the University of Tish.Mentions: Reverend Hightower appears in William Faulkner's Light in August Irv “Kup” and Essie Kupcinet were Karyn “Cookie” Kupcinet's parents An Edna O'Brien story appears in Andre Dubus's Dancing After Hours Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano Phyllis Diller at the Palmer House Bette Howland's line about Chicago being “the raw materials for a city” appears in Blue in Chicago Alberto Paniagua Philip Roth Tish O'Dowd Ezekiel's Floaters Learn more about your ad choices.

In conversation about his hometown with Novel Dialogue host Sarah Wasserman, Peter brings us into a lost pocket of time. It is the early 1960s, when Chicagoans partied in a kind of “Midwestern Weimar” and the gossip columnist Irv Kupcinet, holding forth as many as six times a week for 60 years, wrote a garrulous, glamorous story of the city. While the increasingly unhinged narrator of his novel investigates the mysterious death of Kupcinet's daughter in 1963, Peter delves into his own family's history, anxiously asking “we can't hurt our dead, can we?” The novel swerves between fact and fiction, including photographs that are both real artifacts from the historical record and staged photos that participate in the fictional world of the novel. Peter laughs off this contradiction, remarking “the closer I get to real things, the more fictional it becomes.” How to describe such a complicated novel? Sarah offers this gem: “It's as if Philip Roth were less cancellable and wrote a murder mystery,” a line that results in a poignant conversation about what it means to be Jewish and socially striving in Chicago in middle of the 20th century and what it means to be a cultural outsider, “just slightly outside of the circle.” Peter brings the conversation to a close with a memory of going to the University of Tish.Mentions: Reverend Hightower appears in William Faulkner's Light in August Irv “Kup” and Essie Kupcinet were Karyn “Cookie” Kupcinet's parents An Edna O'Brien story appears in Andre Dubus's Dancing After Hours Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano Phyllis Diller at the Palmer House Bette Howland's line about Chicago being “the raw materials for a city” appears in Blue in Chicago Alberto Paniagua Philip Roth Tish O'Dowd Ezekiel's Floaters Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Encounters episode, we're getting into listener stories all about cemetery experiences: historic graveyards, extra bodies, water logged brains, phantom smells and a smorgasbord of spirits and apparitions. And what's a graveyard episode without a little late night Ouija action? Stories include: A listener uncovers more bodies than expected during a historic cemetery relocation A routine grave cleaning turns terrifying when a listener smells decay, hears something shift underground, and seems to lose time. Friends see a bonneted woman during a late-night drive near William Faulkner's grave.

OA1239 - Did the Supreme Court just hand Donald Trump the biggest L in US presidential history? We go beyond the headlines to break down the first decision on the merits of any of the second Trump term's policies. What is the deal with the “major questions doctrine” and why can't the conservative justices agree about what it is and how to use it? Why did Neil Gorsuch choose this case to drop a lengthy diss track with bars about every one of his colleagues? And is there anything Clarence Thomas wouldn't let a Republican president do? We then review a lesser-noticed SCOTUS decision from this week on whether you can sue USPS for intentionally stealing your mail for openly racist reasons (the answer may surprise you!).  Finally, in today's footnote: Thomas Takes the ICE Exam!

With only five weeks left in this year-long journey, I can feel the end approaching—less like a high-wire act and more like gathering momentum toward something unknown. Week 47 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities course explores twentieth-century American fiction through short stories and novel excerpts, revealing a distinctly American voice: sharp dialogue, vivid settings, and an experimental edge.O. Henry, “The Gift of the Magi” (1906): A charming story of love and sacrifice.F. Scott Fitzgerald, “A Diamond as Big as the Ritz” (1922): Wealth, excess, and a surprising twist.Ernest Hemingway, “The Killers” (1927): Sparse, tension-filled dialogue.William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury (1929, excerpt): Challenging, with shifting time and perspective.Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man (1947, excerpt): A powerful sense of invisibility and identity.Shirley Jackson, “The Lottery” (1948): Disturbing and unforgettable.Flannery O'Connor, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (1955): A Southern Gothic tale with shocking turns.Together, these works feel spacious, restless, and distinctly American—and they remind me how much more willing I am now to embrace difficult, even strange, books.This is a year-long challenge!

New Orleans is an indispensable element of America's national identity. As one of the most fabled cities in the world, it figures in countless novels, short stories, poems, plays, and films, as well as in popular lore and song. T. R. Johnson's book New Orleans: A Writer's City (Cambridge UP, 2023) provides detailed discussions of all of the most significant writing that this city has ever inspired - from its origins in a flood-prone swamp to the rise of a creole culture at the edges of the European empires; from its emergence as a cosmopolitan, hemispheric crossroads and a primary hub of the slave trade to the days when, in its red light district, the children and grandchildren of the enslaved conjured a new kind of music that became America's greatest gift to the world; from the mid-twentieth-century masterpieces by William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Walker Percy to the realms of folklore, hip hop, vampire fiction, and the Asian and Latin American archives.

The Maltese Falcon by Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1929) vs As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner (1930)

Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, firstly in 1969 for The Armies of the Night and again in 1980 for The Executioner's Song, Norman Mailer's life comes as close as is possible to being the Great American Novel: beyond reason, inexplicable, wonderfully grotesque and addictive.The Naked and the Dead was acclaimed not so much for its intrinsic qualities but rather because it launched a brutally realistic sub-genre of military fiction - Catch 22 and MASH would not exist without it.  In Tough Guy: The Life of Norman Mailer (Bloomsbury, 2023), Richard Bradford combs through Mailer's personal letters - to lovers and editors - which appear to be a rehearsal for his career as a shifty literary narcissist, and which shape the characters of one of the most widely celebrated World War II novels. Bradford strikes again with a merciless biography in which diary entries, journal extracts and newspaper columns set the tone of this study of a controversial figure. From friendships with contemporaries such as James Baldwin, failed correspondences with Hemingway and the Kennedys, to terrible - but justified - criticism of his work by William Faulkner and Eleanor Roosevelt, this book gives a unique, snappy and convincing perspective of Mailer's ferocious personality and writings. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

The prominent Faulkner scholar Ahmed Honeini first joined us in 2024 to discuss the rivalry and intertextuality between Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.Clearly, in a topic so vast, devoted to the two leading titans of 20th-century American literature, one puny, inexhaustible episode was not enough. So, Ahmed Honeini agreed to come back onto One True Podcast to continue our pursuit of Hemingway and his contemporaries. We discuss Faulkner's great works, how his concept of mortality compares with Hemingway's, the inadequacy of language, Hemingway's iceberg theory, and Ahmed's favorite moment in all of Faulkner.Join us for this wonderful conversation with the Founder of the Faulkner Studies in the UK Research Network! 

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced",[1] with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature".[2] Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884),[3] with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner. The novelist Ernest Hemingway claimed that "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."[4]
